00:00Listen to me! Listen to me! Listen to me!
00:06Look.
00:09You know this is for the best.
00:12I love you.
00:15But I want to enjoy my college experience.
00:20I'll be away from my parents for the first time.
00:24And I'll be making new friends.
00:26And I'll have the opportunity to grow as a person.
00:32And you can do the same thing.
00:37Hey.
00:38Baby doll.
00:41We had a good run.
00:43We were together most of senior year.
00:46And most of the summer.
00:49Don't be sad.
00:51Just
00:53focus on the future.
00:55Focus on the good times we had.
01:00There she is.
01:04There's my little angel face.
01:08You know
01:10that I never wanted to hurt you.
01:15Whoa!
01:16Fucking asshole.
01:20You're a selfish asshole.
01:22You couldn't have done this nine hours ago before you fucked me in that little bitty dick of yours?
01:26Little?
01:27Really?
01:28Yeah.
01:28You just think that because you're a whore.
01:30And you're a little bitch.
01:31I am not!
01:33You're a crazy bitch!
01:34Damn right, crazy bitch with your cell phone.
01:49Oh, look who decided to come home.
01:52Well, good.
01:52I won't have to write you a note.
01:54What's the big deal? You know I was out with Jason.
01:57You're always out with Jason.
01:58Frankly, I think you're spending a little too much time with Jason.
02:02I don't like you staying out all night.
02:03Come on, Dad. I'm 18.
02:05I don't care. This is my house, my rules.
02:08Guess it's good I'm gone in a week, then.
02:11I guess so.
02:13So you'll be in at nine from here on out.
02:16Nine? You can't be serious.
02:18Don't test me, Rachel.
02:19I'm not trying to.
02:20That's it!
02:22You're grounded.
02:23Grounded? I'm an adult.
02:25I mean it.
02:26And no, Jason may not come over.
02:28Don't worry. We broke up.
02:30I'm glad to see you finally dumped that little shit.
02:33You were too good for him.
02:35You'd have had better grades if it weren't for Jason.
02:38I graduated near the top of my class.
02:40Oh, you'd have been at the very top.
02:42You could have been the best.
02:45What if I just want to be happy?
02:48Don't you see?
02:50I just want the best for you.
02:51If your mother were alive, she'd want the same thing.
02:56Then she'd just want me to be happy.
02:59I don't have time for debate.
03:02No going out and no boys allowed.
03:04I'll talk to you on Tuesday when I get back.
03:06What if I need groceries or to go to the drugstore?
03:10You can't keep me a prisoner.
03:12I love you, Rachel.
03:16I want this to end on a good note.
03:18So, yes, you can take some time, go run some errands.
03:23But during the daylight, at sunset, I want you back here.
03:26Or else.
03:28Anything else, Commandant?
03:29Yes.
03:31I have a new employee starting at the company next week.
03:33She's going to be staying at the guest house until she gets settled.
03:37So please try and be helpful.
03:40And you might want to think about a makeover before school starts.
03:44You look like you've been begging quarters on Melrose.
04:19Hi, I'm Amy.
04:40Mr.
04:41Richmond said I'm supposed to stay in the guest house.
04:45He mentioned somebody's coming.
04:46I'm his daughter, Rachel.
04:47I'm sorry.
04:51Thanks.
05:06Wow, this is nice.
05:08Yeah, thanks.
05:10But I think it's a little too big for me and my dad.
05:12I keep telling him to get a condo somewhere.
05:15Well, it would definitely cut down on the yard work.
05:17If you did yard work.
05:21So I guess you don't really like it that much here, huh?
05:23I feel like it puts a bigger footprint on the world and that's necessary.
05:28Water?
05:30Thanks.
05:33Follow me.
05:45Wow, jacuzzi.
05:51Nice.
05:53And it's totally private.
05:54If you ever want to go tubbing, sometimes the neighbors can't see you.
05:58Good to know.
06:00But the gardener might be checking you out.
06:14Wow, this is great.
06:29Do you play?
06:32Here and there.
06:37I can't play at all.
06:38So I'm envious of anyone who can.
06:41Well, I'm such a good hostess.
06:44Are you kidding?
06:53Play me something seriously.
06:57Okay.
07:14That was really great.
07:36I've never heard it before.
07:38Just something I'm working on.
07:42Well, can you play me more?
07:45Hmm, maybe when it's finished.
07:49I'd like that.
07:53You know, this house is really great.
07:54So beautiful.
07:57Yeah, it was my mother's art studio.
08:01But after she died, my dad renovated it due to property value.
08:07So what happened to her?
08:08The big C back in March.
08:17She was all happy and lots of plans.
08:23But in April, she was diagnosed and they started treating her immediately.
08:31And she was all ready to fight.
08:35But then in June, she was gone.
08:39I'm really sorry.
08:45Anyways, this is my first attempt at interior design.
08:51Well, it's very chic.
08:53You have a talent for it.
08:55Really?
08:57Yeah.
09:00It's cozy, you know.
09:02Cozy is good.
09:03I'll take that.
09:05Well, let me show you around.
09:06All right, living room.
09:07Yeah, kitchen.
09:09And through here, this will be your bedroom.
09:15So you got the bed and if you're right on the corner, you're gonna have the tub, the
09:19shower, whatever.
09:22So I'll leave you here.
09:23You can get settled and if you need anything, be in the house.
09:26Okay.
09:38Okay.
10:00Okay, I'll have ice cream.
10:03How about ice cream instead of a pie?
10:05Yeah!
10:07Yeah!
10:07Okay, I'll get a pumpkin pie.
10:09Okay.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Give me five.
10:11Give me five.
10:12I have to go first.
10:13Give me five.
10:14Nope, I'll get the first one.
10:15Okay.
10:16I'll get the second one.
10:17I'll get the first one.
10:18No, no, no, no, no.
10:21Let's do this first.
10:22I want you guys to guess what's in the boxes.
10:25You have to shake them.
10:25Don't hit them too hard.
10:27Whoever gets to guess it, he has to open it first.
10:29Uh...
10:30Rock?
10:30Candy!
10:31Money.
10:33Rock.
10:35Is it really rock?
10:36Yep.
10:36Oh, my gosh.
10:38Where's my wife and child?
10:41Hi, honey.
10:43Hello.
10:46Kate, this is your girl.
10:49Love you, girl.
10:50Love your daddy.
10:54Where?
10:54Where's the paper?
10:55It's in my apron.
11:06Hi. Hey. Sorry to bother you. I was just wondering if I could borrow some shampoo and a towel?
11:36One moment.
11:59So much for appreciation.
12:05Here you go.
12:24Thanks. After a day of travel, I can really use a shower.
12:29I know what you mean. I always hate after the whole...
12:35Here and there. Um, I don't know, besides our annual trips to New York and Park City and Lviv, Dubai, Rio, Sydney, Amsterdam.
12:50Footage of this hyena eating a carcass.
12:53And how old are you?
12:55I just turned 18.
12:57Wow.
12:58Not this weekend. I'm not grounded.
13:00What for?
13:03Stay...
13:06It's not like I was doing anything.
13:10Wow. What if you're like...
13:13So you're not like a cop or something? You're probably wearing a wire.
13:17I'm not a cop.
13:18Fine. Seriously though, nothing happened.
13:22And I don't know, we just hung out all night.
13:25We broke up. I mean, he's going to school in San Diego and, well, I'm going to college in New York.
13:31How's that? Sometimes they do.
13:34Long distance relationships. There's always who just uses it as a convenience.
13:42What convenience?
13:43Say that they're dating someone in another town. I don't know. Convenience to not have any real relationships.
13:54A long distance...
13:56So what you're saying is long distance relationships are bullshit?
14:00You get shipped off by Uncle Sam or something and you're gone for six months to a year.
14:05That's true.
14:06You really love someone, it shouldn't matter, I mean, time or distance.
14:12In a perfect world, yeah.
14:15Yeah.
14:16If you're going to be with somebody, you might as well be with them.
14:20I don't know. When you love someone, it doesn't matter where you're at. They never leave your heart.
14:28This one is my favorite.
14:33Are you sure this is okay?
14:36It's more than okay. It's great.
14:38I didn't mean the wine.
14:41Oh, you mean me not being legally old enough to drink.
14:44Yeah, that.
14:49My mom used to say that if you tell somebody not to do something, then they're going to go ahead and do it.
14:53So ever since I was 14, I've been allowed to have a glass of wine at dinner time.
14:57Well, I hear wine is good for your heart.
15:04I'd agree with that.
15:07So you're sure this is cool?
15:10He would totally insist on me opening a bottle of wine, especially for you. Girl Scout Summer.
15:15You were a Girl Scout?
15:17No.
15:19But if I was a Girl Scout, I wouldn't lie, right? So therefore, somewhere out there, there's a Girl Scout. So, Scout's honor.
15:26I can tell you're trouble.
15:29A lot of people keep saying that. But really, I'm a good person.
15:33Good.
15:36Most of the time.
15:41Yours.
15:44All right.
15:46All right.
15:49To new beginnings and new friendships.
15:52Cheers.
15:59This is really yummy.
16:01It's yummy good?
16:03Yes. But...
16:06Oh my God.
16:10Sorry. He's calling. There's a check that I'm paying.
16:14Hello?
16:15Hey, Rachel. How's everything at home?
16:17Who the hell is this?
16:19Who do you think it is? It's your dad.
16:21Hi, Daddy. How's your trip?
16:24The trip is good. I just wanted to check in and see how you are and how our guest is doing.
16:29Yeah, she's all settled in.
16:31Good, good. Make sure you show her the wine cellar and give her anything she wants.
16:35Open the wine cellar, give the girl in the guest house whatever she wants. Check.
16:40And show her around. I left a couple of hundred in the nightstand next to the bed.
16:44The nightstand? There's money in there. Show her around. Check.
16:48She doesn't have a car, so let her use mine. The keys are in my desk drawer.
16:53Let her drive your car. Anything else?
16:57Yeah. Don't be a pain in the ass. Let me talk to her.
17:01All yours.
17:04Hi, Frank.
17:06Amy, glad to see you arrived okay. If you need anything, just ask Rachel.
17:11Yeah, everything's great.
17:13Do you need anything?
17:14No, thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.
17:16Just enjoy the weekend. I'll be back Monday night. We'll put you to work Tuesday morning.
17:20If Rachel gives you any problems, I want to know.
17:23No, she's been a great hostess. Thanks.
17:27I got to run.
17:29All right, just be sure to let me know when you...
17:31All right, bye-bye. Good. Bye.
17:32Come with me.
17:35Um, bye.
17:39If you're going to be working with him, you better get used to that.
17:42I guess he's busy.
17:45He's always busy.
17:48But, do I know my dad?
17:51Or what?
17:54Oh, shit.
17:56I'm sorry.
17:58I'm... It's okay.
18:00No, no, no. I'll be right back. Just...
18:02Here.
18:04You can wipe that off, and then here's a...
18:08I say first.
18:09No, you first. You're the guest.
18:11Same time?
18:13Okay.
18:15Cheers.
18:32Let's celebrate.
18:34All right, one more glass, but that's it.
18:36Come on, it's Friday night, and neither one of us are driving.
18:40Yeah, but this is a little weird, you know?
18:44Here I am, drinking with my boss's daughter.
18:48Chill out. You're just socializing, right?
18:51Two months from now, you're going to be working a 70-hour week.
18:58And you're going to look back at this weekend and wish you had enjoyed it.
19:02Yeah, but if I enjoy it too much, I won't have a job.
19:08My dad's lucky to have someone working for him like you.
19:12I mean, you're smart, and you're beautiful, and you're kind of cool.
19:18You're kind of like my new best friend.
19:24I'm so sorry.
19:27It's you and your phone.
19:29It's... It's Jason.
19:33Hi, Jason.
19:34Where the fuck is my cell phone, you whore? I know you have it.
19:36No, I do not have your phone. Obviously you have a phone, or you wouldn't be able to call me.
19:39I'm calling from my mom's phone.
19:41Fuck this shit.
19:42Fuck your...
19:43Look, I'm packing, okay? I'll be leaving.
19:45You would pack, you whore. Don't go anywhere. No, you stay there.
19:47Goodbye, Jason.
19:48Don't hang up on me.
19:49Bye, Jason.
19:50Fuck you, you blonde pimpo.
19:52Bye.
19:56He thinks I snatched his phone.
19:59Did you?
20:04He dumped me, and... I don't know. Yes?
20:10You could have just left.
20:13Yeah, I did leave. The phone just decided to come with me.
20:17Look, I had to do something to fuck up his day. I never said I was perfect.
20:21I know how that goes.
20:24Have you ever been in love?
20:31Have I ever been in love?
20:34You know, I'm not sure if I know what that means.
20:39I don't understand.
20:41I mean...
20:44I've always been sexual, you know?
20:48And... sexy.
20:52Known how to turn guys on to get what I wanted, you know?
21:00But I've never felt...
21:04Comfortable with a man or with anyone.
21:10I've never let anyone in, you know?
21:14For me, it's about power.
21:19Getting what I want.
21:22So...
21:24Maybe fucking up someone's day has never been necessary for me.
21:29Because I've never been in love.
21:31But you've never fucked up their day by just sleeping with them?
21:34No.
21:36I try not to get too personal.
21:40So not even once? Like, not even your first kiss?
21:43You've never, like, just had that little...
21:45That one little moment where it's like sparks and fireworks?
21:48Well...
21:50There was a guy I grew up with.
21:54You know, he was the one that was there for me when everyone else thought I was, you know...
21:59A slut or a...
22:01Feminist.
22:03And, uh...
22:04We were best friends and...
22:06Lovers, but...
22:09He more felt like my little brother than anything else.
22:13Well, that's weird.
22:15No.
22:16I mean, but, like...
22:17What was your first kiss like?
22:21I don't know.
22:23It was... soft.
22:27Powerful.
22:28I like to feel powerful.
22:31You know?
22:32Yeah.
22:34But...
22:37Love.
22:39That's when you feel weak, right?
22:41Yeah.
22:42Like jello in the knees.
22:46Oh, God.
22:49On that note...
22:51I need to be going to bed.
22:54Okay.
22:56I need to be going to bed.
22:59Do you want to take the bottle with you?
23:00I probably shouldn't.
23:02I've had enough.
23:04All right.
23:05More for myself, then.
23:08I think they want us to...
23:25Good morning, sunshine!
23:26Oh, what time is it?
23:27Like 10 a.m. Let's get ready.
23:28Oh, do we have to?
23:29Yeah.
23:30Go see the city.
23:31Oh.
23:32Do you have cream or sugar?
23:33Oh, I like it black.
23:35Oh, give me 20 minutes.
23:37Melrose Avenue!
23:39They're the best stores.
23:41I love...
23:42Prague.
23:43Prague.
23:44Prague is amazing.
23:45Prague is amazing.
23:46Prague is amazing.
23:47Prague is amazing.
23:48Prague is amazing.

23:54Prague is amazing.
23:55Prague is amazing.
23:56Because they have like this very detailed kind of...
23:58I don't know.
23:59Well, it's very, like, Arab, right?
24:01What?
24:02Did you buy any scarves?
24:03I have billions of scarves.
24:05I love scarves.
24:06They're awesome.
24:08How about Paris?
24:09Ooh.
24:10Is this sexy?
24:11It's sexy.
24:13I've got to see.
24:16Oh, yeah.
24:17Oh, matching?
24:18Yeah, matching.
24:19Who are you?

24:25Good.

24:32Alright.
24:33Alright.
24:34For you.
24:38No worries.
24:39Wow.
24:40Not my money.
24:42Thank you, Mr. Richmond.
24:43Thanks, my dad.
24:45There you go.
24:46Thank you, sir.
24:48How do I look?
24:49Like this?
